On TCNW #480 we featured an interview with Rance Howard, the father of Ron and Clint. During that interview Rance mentioned how Ron got the role of Opie. Ronnie was optioned to appear on a possible CBS series called “Barnaby and Mr. O’Malley” which would have conflicted with Ronnie being able to appear on The Andy Griffith Show. Aaron Ruben put in a second hold for Ronnie to be on The Andy Griffith Show if the other series didn’t sell.
What a different version of Mayberry we would have had if Ronnie hadn’t been Opie.

We had the 7th Annual Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy, NC the weekend of 18-19 July 2019 and it was another wonderful Mayberry family reunion. More than 130 fans of The Andy Griffith Show gathered in the courtyard of the Mayberry Motor Inn around the gazebo on Friday and Saturday evenings. Visiting, talking, Mayberry murder mystery solving, trivia and episode watching were on the agenda. A good time of fellowship was had by all.
I recommend watching the video version of this episode to get a more complete feel of what went on during the weekend. I did my best to describe things so audio podcast listeners wouldn’t feel left out but to paraphrase Briscoe Darling, “Seein’ speaks louder than words” in this case.

The 6th Mayberry Meet-up was held in Mt. Airy, NC on 20-21 July 2018. The weather was amazingly cool and dry for the month of July all the way up til it rained on us at 8pm on Saturday. Even the rain couldn’t dampen the fun had by those who attended the meet-up.
This episode gives a report about what happened at the event and I hope it encourages you to go out to one Mayberry event or another to enjoy the fellowship of the Mayberry family. You will not be disappointed when you meet other folks who are fans of The Andy Griffith Show. They are the salt of the earth.

This past weekend was the very first Two Chairs Meet-up held at Two Chairs headquarters in Huntsville, AL. Over the course of the weekend folks were able to enjoy the company of fellow Mayberry fans, watch episodes, look through the Mayberry collection at Two Chair HQ, visit Weaver’s Department Store and so much more. It was relaxing weekend of being with friends. No conflict to deal with….it was Mayberry.
Make plans to be with us in July for the 6th Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy, NC 20-22 July 2018.

The 5th Mayberry Meet-up was held this past weekend in Mt. Airy, NC. What is the Meet-up? It’s a group of Mayberry fans gathering together to have a relaxing weekend visit to Andy Griffith’s hometown to experience a slower pace. A visit to the Andy Griffith Museum was one option of the many things to do during the day and that included a chance to meet Betty Lynn, Mayberry’s Thelma Lou, and get her autograph.
About 70 people were part of the group who met on Friday and Saturday evenings for food, fellowship, and Mayberry fun. We shared Mayberry trivia, stories, laughter, and episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. All that was followed by a Mayberry Bible Study session on Sunday morning for those able to attend before heading home.

We just got home from the Mayberry Meet-up 2016 held in Mount Airy, NC the weekend of 8-9 July. Jan and I had a great time and from the reports I heard so did the other 55 to 60 people who were able to attend. The weather was really good for July in the south, especially on Saturday night, and the friends were first rate.
This episode is a report about the goings on and hopefully it will get you geared up to attend a Mayberry event near you. Getting together with Mayberry people is one of the best times you can have without doing anything your mom wouldn’t want to hear about.
